Marco Rubio Not Standing With Trump Over

The post 'I Won't Talk About WikiLeaks, and Neither Should Donald Trump', Marco Rubio Warns Republicans appeared first on SIGNAL.

US officials have said they believe Russian Federation to be behind the hacks that provided WikiLeaks with its information, including the hack of Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta's personal email.

In a statement on Wednesday, Rubio cautioned that while Democrats are being hacked today, the GOP could be the next target.

Senator Marco Rubio is warning fellow Republicans not to capitalize politically on Wikileaks.

"Do we really want to be a country where foreign leaders or foreign intelligence agencies can blackmail our elected officials and say to them, 'Unless you do what we want you to do, we're going to release emails from your campaign manager, your wife, your daughter, your son, we're going to embarrass them.' Is that what we want?"

Rubio said that US intelligence officials have said the leaks are an attempt by a foreign government to interfere with USA elections and he will not indulge in that.

"This is not a Republican or Democrat issue", said Rubio, "this is an America issue, and I think there are plenty of points the secretary can be criticized on outside the stuff on Wikileaks".

In an exclusive with ABC News, Rubio said that he is aware how easily the fortune could be working the other way around.

Just hours before she is to take the debate stage for a final time against Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton has chosen to align herself against another enemy: the entirety of Russian Federation. The Clinton campaign has neither confirmed nor denied the veracity of the emails.

Earlier this month, the United States government publicly accused Russia for a series of hacks and email leaks target USA political institutions, a move top officials said was authorized at the highest levels of the Russian government. The FBI says it is investigating.
